By Jan C. Hafer and Robert M. Wilson

Book Overview

Now, the new, completely revised Come Sign With Us offers more follow-up activities, including many in context, to teach children sign language.

MUCHO EXCELLENTE

I AM AN ASL AND SPANISH STUDENT, FOUND THIS BOOK IN THE LIBRARY AND MUCH TO MY GREAT SURPRISE AND EXCITEMENT SAW THE ASL LEARNING WORDS WERE ALSO IN SPANISH! RIGHT AWAY I KNEW I WANTED MY OWN COPY! EVEN THOUGH THE BOOK IS DESIGNED FOR CHILDREN, IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, WHEN ADULTS ARE LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE AREN'T WE AT A KINDERGARTEN READING LEVEL? I'M EXCITED, THIS IS AN AWSOME BOOK!

Come Sign with Us: Sign Language Activities for Children

As a new teacher I find this book to a wonderful inspiartion to teach out of the box. I want to teach Spanish and A.S.L. but wasn't sure how. When I saw this book, it got me even more excited about teaching than I already was. I immediately came up with ideas to intergrate Spanish, A.S.L., and everyday speaking. It may seem silly to some because it was so simple, but the idea to tech them together had not come to me in such a complete form until I saw this book. these are ideas that can be adapted to any topic and cirriculum. Great for new teacher and the veteran trying somthing new or expanded.
